This page collects notes for commentary on Prudentius' Psychomachia by Marc Mastrangelo and Christopher Francese.

We are looking for significant discussions of the virtues and vices in (more or less) contemporary sermons, esp. those virtues and vices dealt with by Prudentius. In addition it would be helpful to know to what extent Prudentius' choice of virtues and vices corresponds to those normally dealt with in sermons. The notes consists of a sentence or two description of what each sermon is about, then notes with the exact references to discussions of the virtues and vices that appear in the Psychomachia: 

  1. FIDES (as a virtue, personified, if possible)
  2. VETERUM CULTURA DEORUM (i.e. IDOLATRIA)
  3. PUDICITIA
  4. LIBIDO
  5. IRA
  6. HUMILITAS
  7. SUPERBIA
  8. SOBRIETAS
  9. LUXURIA
 10. OPERATIO
 11. AVARITIA

The content was created in the summer of 2008 by Lauren McGowan.
